About Alessandro

Easy going 54 years old man

Alessandro purchased this apartment in 2008

Why Alessandro chose Imperia

Flat decorated with antique items and antique furniture. Dining in the balcony you will enjoy a stunning view of the valley and the nearby village of Castelvittorio. Plenty of other medieval villages (a short drive away) in the Nervia valley. The beaches are 20 kilometers away.

Quaint and Relaxing

Caretaker Georgia and Owner Alessandro are very gracious and want to be sure you enjoy your stay. Georgia lives nearby and is available for any needs. This property is located in the old centro of Pigna, and parking is a bit of a hike, but well worth it. Be sure to pay attention to how you get to the apartment and which door it is. The route is a bit of a warren of old passages and many doors along the way. Sitting on the balcony with a glass of wine and some cheese before heading out for dinner is a lovely way to end a day of hiking or shopping on/in nearby trails and towns. Restaurant choices are limited in town, a couple bar/cafe's and one restaurant within short walking distance. Across the bridge just on the north side of town the hotel is a wonderful restaurant worth a hike or short drive, and continuing up the hill to the next small town that you can see from below provides some options for more dining. Bring some soap and shampoo (maybe a corkscrew in case the guest prior to you make off with the house tool), but everything else you need is there. Beware that there are many steps (of different heights) to get to the apartment, so anyone with knee, hip or heart issues may want to think twice, for everyone else it is worth the climb and you get quite used to it, so that is a good thing.

Owner's Response: Hello Susan, I am really glad you enjoyed your stay. Thanks a lot for your suggestions. I will buy a few spare corkscrews along with soaps and shampoos. I hope you will have another chance to come to Pigna sooner or later.
